Darwin 4078

Darwin 4081 is a vertical scrolling shooter, first in a series followed by Super Real Darwin (1987) and Act-Fancer Cybernetick Hyper Weapon (1989). The main attraction of the game is the ability to evolve your ship into a wide variety of different forms, each with their own attack abilities, by collecting DNA dropped by enemies. Other power-ups will increase you ship's speed, give you an option that follows your ship, or even increase the power of your smart bombs. The game features surreal futuristic art design fitting of its title.
